Herne Bay station Access for All improvements
As part of the Department for Transport’s nationwide Railway Access for All strategy, we have installed two new lifts, and a new footbridge at Herne Bay station to provide step free access between the platforms.
In partnership with the DfT, this £6 million scheme will make the station much easier to use for passengers with limited mobility, with luggage, bicycles and pushchairs. Work began at the end of November 2023 and was completed in March 2025.
What work took place?
The work included
- Installation of a new footbridge
- Installation of two lifts with a 16-person capacity
- New CCTV cameras
The station remained open throughout the work, meaning that there was no impact on how passengers accessed the station.
Final testing has been completed and the lifts are now open to customers.
When did the work take place?
Work began at the end of November 2023. The works were completed in March 2025.
